Monaco manager Leonardo Jardim always expected Anthony Martial to succeed at Manchester United.

A lot of eyebrows were raised when United decided to splash a whopping £36million to secure the services of Martial over the summer but the 19-year-old has made a stunning start to life at Old Trafford and many are already changing their opinions about the French forward.

While Martial may have surprised many with his performances so far, the striker's former boss Jardim has stated that he always expected the teenager to do well on the big stage for United.

Jardim said: "We worked with Anthony Martial on his physical and mental attributes.

"I'm not surprised by his performances.

"We work hard to make sure our young players reach the top European level."
